<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wednesday, January 28 | 6 pm</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Free for Members</em>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<em>$8 for general public</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hear from Dr. Davide Gasparotto, Senior Curator of Paintings and Chair of Curatorial Affairs at the J. Paul Getty Museum, during a special lecture, hosted in partnership with FOCUS on European Art, as he discusses the gilded frames of the Florentine Baroque, inspired by the exhibition&nbsp;<em>Florentine Baroque: The Haukohl Collection</em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Originally from Italy, Gasparotto studied at the University and the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa before beginning his curatorial career at the National Gallery of Parma. From 2012 to 2014, he served as Director of the Galleria Estense in Modena, where he oversaw significant exhibitions and collection initiatives prior to joining the J. Paul Getty Museum in 2014. An expert in Renaissance art, his scholarship focuses on painting, sculpture, and decorative arts of the period, the rediscovery of classical antiquity, and the history of collecting, with particular emphasis on the Italian Renaissance. His research and lectures—such as his work on Bertoldo di Giovanni and the revival of classical culture in the age of Lorenzo de’ Medici—reflect his deep engagement with the artistic and intellectual currents that shaped the Renaissance and its legacy.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On January 15, SOUNDCHECK<strong>&nbsp;</strong>welcomes Phoenix Afrobeat Orchestra (PAO!) to PhxArt. PAO! proudly carries the musical and social torch first lit by the powerful duo Fela Kútì and Tony Allen, the original inventors of the Afrobeat sound in Lagos, Nigeria in West Africa. Led by funky heiress Camille Sledge, the 16-strong orchestra is composed of the most ambitious, outrageous musicians in Phoenix today. PAO! has penned an abundance of original material that melds the eclectic heritage of the ensemble with that classic Afrobeat style. The outcome is a truly powerful sound that pays homage to the masters, while maintaining a fierce individuality, acting as a loud voice-piece of solidarity and understanding for the global community. From concert halls to music festivals, fashion shows to fundraisers, PAO! has shared the stage with musical icons from George Clinton to The Roots, and many others.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-left"><a href="https://phxart.org/exhibition/muscle-memory/"><strong><em>Muscle Memory: Lens on the Body</em></strong></a></h1>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph"><em>January 24, 2026 – June 28, 2026</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://phxart.org/exhibition/muscle-memory/"><em>Muscle Memory: Lens on the Body</em></a>&nbsp;explores the ways in which photographers across history have represented and reckoned with the human body and its associated dimensionality, evolution, and politicization. Drawn primarily from the collections of the Center for Creative Photography (CCP) at the University of Arizona in Tucson and Phoenix Art Museum, the exhibition showcases more than 80 wide-ranging works that contend with the body’s form, physicality, and limits. The exhibition’s works are presented across four thematic sections and offer audiences the opportunity to consider the body’s ability to morph and bear traces of lived experiences.</p>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-left"><em>Muscle Memory: Lens on the Body</em> is co-organized by Phoenix Art Museum and the Center for Creative Photography. The exhibition is curated by Emilia Mickevicius, PhD, the Norton Family Assistant Curator of Photography. All exhibitions at Phoenix Art Museum are underwritten by the Phoenix Art Museum Exhibition Excellence Fund, founded by The Opatrny Family Foundation with additional major support provided by Joan Cremin.<a href="https://phxart.org/exhibition/2024-arizona-artist-awards/"></a></h6>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://phxart.org/exhibition/eric-fischl-stories-told/"><strong><em>Eric Fischl: Stories Told</em></strong></a></h1>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Through June 14, 2026</em><em></em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://phxart.org/exhibition/eric-fischl-stories-told/"><em>Eric Fischl: Stories Told</em></a>&nbsp;brings together 40 large-scale works by the renowned painter, who grew up in Long Island, New York, and Phoenix, Arizona. Working with figurative painting and narrative content in the late 1970s, when it was decidedly out of favor in the art world, Fischl made his subject what he knew best: memories of suburban life and the nuclear family of his childhood.&nbsp;<em>Stories Told</em>&nbsp;features works from the late 1970s to today, illuminating the artist’s continued exploration of the human figure in fraught, ambiguous moments where social taboos, anxieties, family secrets, masculinity, unacknowledged privilege, the collision of the public and the private, and more, bubble just below the surface.&nbsp;</p>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Eric Fischl: Stories Told</em> is organized by Phoenix Art Museum and guest-curated by Heather Sealy Lineberry, Curator Emeritus at the Arizona State University Art Museum and faculty associate in the ASU School of Art’s Museum Studies program. The exhibition is presented by the Men’s Arts Council, with leadership support from Margaret T. Morris Foundation, and Steven Martin and Anne Stringfield. Major support provided by Michael and Nancy Gifford, James and Janet Dicke, Bruce and Suzie Kovner, and DL Withers Foundation. Additional support is provided by Rafael Jablonka, Erica Samuels, and Skarstedt Gallery. In-kind support provided by Kimpton Hotel Palomar Phoenix. Contemporary art exhibitions and projects are made possible in part by the Rob Walton, Jordan Rose, and Rose Law Group Fund for Contemporary Art. All exhibitions at Phoenix Art Museum are underwritten by the Phoenix Art Museum Exhibition Excellence Fund, founded by The Opatrny Family Foundation, with additional major support provided by Joan Cremin. Leadership support for the exhibition publication, <em>Eric Fischl: Late America</em>, is provided by Skarstedt Gallery.</h6>
